I’m being really technical here and this might sound silly, but it matters. Is a frozen coffee drink with whipped cream still a liquid?
 
I got that question when we were in a quiz bee. Is ice liquid or solid? the answer was- it’s solid. so a freezed coffee is ice and therefore is solid. I don’t know about the whipped cream though.
 
The purpose of a fast is to get away from the material and physical and concentrate on the spiritual. Fasting means to afflict oneself. The drink you are describing sounds more like a “dessert” to me. If you’re going to be honest with yourself, you have to admit that the reason you would have such a drink is to indulge your physical senses. That would seem to defeat the reason for fasting. I wouldn’t call that drink an “affliction.”
